Southwest Florida holiday trash collection schedules

Trash collection in Southwest Florida will follow the following schedules for the July 4 holiday:

All Lee County Solid Waste facilities will be closed on Friday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day. Garbage, recyclables, yard waste, and electronics will not be collected on Friday. They will be picked up on Saturday, July 5. Normal collection schedules will resume on Monday, July 7.

In Collier County, there will be no collection services of any kind on Friday including trash, recycling, bulky items or yard waste. If your regular collection day falls on Friday than collection will be made on your next regularly scheduled collection day. There are no make up days. Customer service phone lines will also be closed on Friday.

In Charlotte County, the landfill, transfer facilities and business offices will all be closed Friday. No sanitation services and no collection services will occur on Friday. Those who's scheduled trash collection is Friday will have their trash collected on Saturday, July 5.

In DeSoto County, no trash collection will occur on Friday. Residences that miss a collection day due to the holiday may double the amount of garbage they put out on their next collection day - to 4 bags or cans.

In Glades County, the City of Moore Haven is unaffected by the holiday - the only holiday they don't pickup is on Christmas Day, a city official said.

In Hendry County, the City of Clewiston collects trash on Mondays and Thursdays, so Friday's holiday doesn't affect that schedule.
